Alumnus installed as new Chancellor

April 2008

Students, alumni, donors, staff, government leaders and senior tertiary sector leaders gathered for a ceremonial occasion last month to mark the installation of Dr Alan Finkel AM as Chancellor. A Monash alumnus and philanthropist, Dr Finkel (BE 1976, PhD 1981) becomes Monash University's seventh Chancellor.

During the event, held at Robert Blackwood Hall, the new Chancellor welcomed all new graduates, along with his son Victor, to Monash's 200,000-strong alumni community. Victor Finkel received a Bachelor of Music degree.

The installation ceremony officially marks the beginning of Dr Finkel’s term as Chancellor. This is an important day in the University’s history as Dr Finkel is the first Monash graduate to occupy this prestigious position.
